= How to use one of the provided fonts: 3 steps, 10 sec. =__NOTOC__
; #1Using fonts with TeX was once a Jedi fight, before XeTeX and LuaTeX development. FirstNowadays, be aware of the [[ConTeXt distribution's Fonts|21 using fonts provided]]is simple.:* If required, you can [[Mtxrun#fonts| regenerate the font database]] <code>mtxrun --script font --reload --force</code>
; #2. Give a name to the set of = Using fonts you want to use and select a first font:* Use the command {{cmd|definefontfamily}}. Sometimes, the name of the set of font is called the "typescript identifier":* Let's take an example, for a Serif font, for which TeX practice is to refer to them as '''roman''' (=rm):* <texcode>\definefontfamily[MyFontIdentifier][rm][refcode to the serif font]</texcode>
; #3You will find here the preliminary steps before actually playing with the fonts in your input file. Declare it as your default font family for your document:* Use At the command end, with {{cmd|setupbodyfont}}:* <texcode>\setupbodyfont[MyFontIdentifier]</texcode>one or two commands, you will make your document enable to use any fonts available on your computer.
; #4. Specify the font size
:* <texcode>\setupbodyfont[xxpt]</texcode>
== Example =={{TwoColumnsUnderLevel1|This basic input is typeset with the default font, Latin Modern:<context source=yes>\setupbodyfont[12pt]The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog</context>TwoColumnsHighlight
And by adding the two lines discussed above, and using the reference to Tex Gyre Pagella Serif font (texgyrepagella) we obtain:<context source=yes>\definefontfamily == [MyFontIdentifier] [rmUse fonts distributed with ConTeXt| Use fonts distributed with ConTeXt] [texgyrepagella]=== \setupbodyfont* How to use the [MyFontIdentifier[ConTeXt distribution's Fonts|21 provided fonts]].* These are the basics you may want to start with, in 2 or 3 steps, less than 3 minutes.\setupbodyfont| === [[12ptUse_the_fonts_you_want| Use any other font ]] === The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog* Case 1: Quick "one shot" (< 5min.)</context>* Case 2: Comprehensive approach (~10min.)
; #1. Very similarly to above, just select a second font
:* for a Sans Serif font, for which TeX practice is to refer to them as '''Sans Serif''' (=ss)
:* <texcode>\definefontfamily[MyFontIdentifier][ss][refcode to the sans serif font]</texcode>
:* for a monospaced font, for which TeX practice is to refer to them as '''TypewriTer''' (=tt)
:* <texcode>\definefontfamily[MyFontIdentifier][tt][refcode to the monospaced font]</texcode>
== Example =={{TwoColumnsUnderLevel1|This basic input is typeset with the default font, Latin Modern:<context source=yes>\setupbodyfont[12pt]\rm The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog\\\ss The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog\\\tt The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog\\</context>|And by adding the two lines discussed above, and using the reference to Tex Gyre Pagella Serif font (texgyrepagella) we obtain[Category:<context source=yes>\definefontfamily [MyFontIdentifier] [rm] [texgyrepagella]\definefontfamily [MyFontIdentifier] [ss] [texgyreadventor]\definefontfamily [MyFontIdentifier] [tt] [texgyrecursor]\setupbodyfont[MyFontIdentifierFonts]\setupbodyfont[12pt]\rm The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog\\\ss The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog\\\tt The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog\\</context>}}
